Conservation Matters in Wales December 2017: Past practice, future practice.
National Museum Wales, Cardiff
Tuesday, December 19th 2017.
Conservation connects past to the future but how do we make
this link in our own practice? This one day conference will look back at
previous conservation practises, look forward to where we’re going, examine how
they are connected and explore where there are opportunities to innovate.
The cross disciplinary conference will
be attended by conservators, curators, collection managers and other
professionals engaged in the care of collections and we particularly welcome
proposals that would be appropriate to this audience. Proposals are welcomed from
those inside and outside of Wales.
The Welsh
conservation sector has made innovation a response to tight economic frameworks
whilst working together to maintain best practice. This is embodied in the
recently launched conservation principles and we welcome papers that explore
these themes.
Proposals
are invited for 20 minute presentations, 5 minute shorts or posters as well as
workshops or discussions that explore the conference’s broad theme. The conference hashtag will be #consinwales and we also
welcome suggestions for presentations that may be shared virtually.
If you are interested in
speaking please send a brief summary of your proposal to Pamela Murray murraypf@cardiff.ac.uk by the 10th of November.
